Dislikes
- The crowd is too much. The college is quite huge but it is definitely over populated. There is high competition for everything starting from placements to queues in shops.It is holding more than how much it can actually hold and causing difficulties.
- Hostel and mess is not upto the mark. The food is very repetitive and it gets boring.The rooms are very cramped and there is no proper ventilation. In the summers it gets too hot and difficult to manage. The quality of lunch is also not that great.
- There is no freedom to roam around the college after 8 pm. There are red tag faculties and guards who are always walking around the campus. If they see a boy and girl hanging out in very close quarters they have the right to take strict action.
